Very sad to hear of the death of John Carey. His book Pure Pleasure - a compendium of Sunday Times columns covering his favourite pleasurable books of the 20C - is a model of good, enthused, informed journalistic book criticism. I’ve read its essays so many times.

RIP John Carey. This book changed my life, and I wouldn’t say that if it wasn’t true. 🙏

One of the bleakest things about living in the UK right now is that the country is full of people who, if their community is given something nice, will just destroy it for no reason. I really don’t know how you fix that.

“I just have no interest in it at all, because it’s so f***ing boring […] If it’s your interest, go nuts in your garage; play around, build a robot. But as far as I’m concerned, I would much rather kiss on the beach, & read a novel, & be sunburnt.”
